Group moves forward with ‘Cultural Park’ plans Altenheim committee still working on funding, final concept

BY THOMAS VOGEL Staff Reporter

The ad hoc committee tasked with exploring options for revamping the vacant Altenheim property, near Madison

and Van Buren streets, updated Forest Park village commissioners on its efforts and asked for help submitting a grant application during the village council’s June 12 meeting. The push to create a “Cultural Park” on the 11-acre lot, which includes several vacant buildings, is still in its early

stages, with a final plan and total cost still to be determined. The village bought the property for $3.6 million in 2001, and over the years several ideas for development, including from See CULTURAL PARK on page 3

A Forest Park resident filed a federal civil suit, June 9, against Forest Park Police Officer Scott McClintock and the village of Forest Park, alleging McClintock “physically attacked” him and knocked out his teeth in 2015. The man, Tyrone Roney, is seeking unspecified monetary damages. The suit, filed with the United States District Court’s Northern District of Illinois, comes about two months after Roney was found not guilty in a separate criminal case stemming from the same initial 2015 incident. That case was decided on April 4, 2017. On June 15, 2015, the suit says, Roney was in See LAWSUIT on page 4

Worthwhile, even when you don’t escape

ne of the many things I admire about millennials is their willingness to invest in experiences rather than amassing material goods. So when I proposed that our millennial children try Forest Park’s new Escape Factor, they were immediately on board. One of them had already escaped from a room in Nashville and had the T-shirt to prove it. We booked a reservation for eight, for the night of June 14. When we got to Madison Street, we had some time to kill, so we went next door for a beer. Big mistake. We would need all of our brain cells working in tip-top condition to escape the room. The family was fortunate to have a licensed private detective to help. We selected the one-hour escape experience. Owner Dexter Cura signed us up and went over the ground rules. I was relieved to learn we wouldn’t have to move any furniture, or climb on the furniture, to find a clue because I no longer move heavy objects, or climb on them. Dexter escorted us to the room and started the clock. He gave us a word we could chant, if we were hopelessly

stuck and needed a hint. The room was bizarrely decorated. It wasn’t scary. But it was eerie, like we were stuck in a Twilight Zone episode. I was eager to show off my detective skills but, as we started tackling mysteries, I realized there was going to be some math involved. My emotional block to math kicked in and I remained befuddled for the rest of the hour. I was useless but amazed at how well my wife and kids worked together to solve a series of riddles and puzzles. Some of them had math skills, while others displayed logic and imagination. I did what I could to help out, by writing down their findings on a white board. It was the equivalent of playing catcher in 16-inch softball. Just about anyone could have played this position. Meanwhile, the digital clock was ticking down. Now that we recognized the dif difficulty of our task, we feared we wouldn’t make it out in time. We were making one breakthrough after another but as the clock ran down, we became frantic. Our MVP had to be my son, Mark. Fresh from graduating college, his brain was still

CULTURAL PARK Plans move forward from page 1 Fenwick High School and the West Cook YMCA, were eventually scrapped. The village council created the ad hoc committee in January. Since then the committee has met roughly a half-dozen times, talking with experts and conducting at least one survey, in a renewed effort to develop the site. “I would like to create a space that all Forest Parkers would be proud of,” Ralph DiFebo, the committee’s chair, wrote in a June 16 email to the Review. “The park would give us green space and a cultural attraction. It would also give people from the surrounding communities another good reason to come to Forest Park and experience for themselves what a wonderful place this is.” DiFebo explained to the council that his committee has identified several possible issues to work through, including sound, security and financing and is continuing to consult with outside experts, such as sound engineers and stage designers, to help work through those potential problems.

“We’re really concerned about all those things,” DiFebo said in a June 14 phone call. “They’re all very, very important.” The committee has three working concepts, he said, with varying levels of features. The most inclusive plan, for instance, includes the largest concert venue. In the other scenarios, the venue is scaled back, with fewer seats. Ideas for the lot include an outdoor concert space, concession area, walking paths, a farmers market, sculpture garden and a skating rink. Redeveloping the vacant property could generate new revenue for the village and draw visitors from the across the Chicago area to the park for events and programming. The Blue Line CTA train station is located nearby. The grant application is for funds from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), in partnership with the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA). CMAP issued a call for proposals at the beginning of May. Applications must be submitted by June 29. DiFebo said CMAP prefers to have proposals come from village governments, which is why they submitted the partial application to the council. “We should be able to meet the timeline,” Mayor Anthony Calderone said June 12. “I feel confident.”

sharp from academia. His young mind was also not clouded by alcohol. Mark and the others were making startling discoveries. But a couple of times, we got desperate and chanted the magic word for a clue. Finally, our time ran out and Dexter explained the remaining mysteries. One of us thought we could have gotten out in 90 minutes. But if it had been left up to me, we’d still be in the room. Dexter said there was no shame in failure because only about 20 percent of the groups solve it. He then showed us their 30-minute room, which has a much higher success rate. He said they have plans afoot to build a new room. It will have a game-show theme and is being designed by Yearbook’s Jef Anderson. My kids were very happy with the experience. Working together as a team is good for families, companies and other organizations. I think it’s an ideal exercise for our Boy Scouts, and I hear they have plans to try out Escape Factor. It could also be a team-building exercise for our village council members and politicians in general. Political differences are forgotten when we’re all working together to escape the same predicament. ■ John Rice is a columnist/private detective, who has seen his business and family thrive in Forest Park. He thoroughly enjoys life in the village and still gets a thrill smelling Red Hots, watching softball and strolling through cemeteries.

In a June 15 phone call, Village Administrator Tim Gillian confirmed the village plans on submitting the application on time. “We have submitted them in the past. We do know a little bit about it,” Gillian said. “But quite honestly, it’s a fairly simple process.” CMAP’s Local Technical Assistance program, first started in 2010, helps communities plan projects, like a comprehensive plan, a neighborhood analysis or a bike path study. There are dozens of projects underway across Cook County. The idea, DiFebo said, is to “fine tune the concept” with funds from CMAP. “To get money to build, you really need to have a plan,” DiFebo said. “To get a plan, you need study money.” If CMAP does not select the village’s grant application, Gillian said Forest Park will look for other grant opportunities. DiFebo added his committee is also working with the National Park Service, seeking assistance as well. “They don’t give money so much. They help you organize,” DiFebo said. “They provide logistical support. They can also help guide you toward other sources of funding.” DiFebo said he hopes to have a concept for the property to the village council to assess by the end of July.

Not guilty-ruling leads to action from page 1

SIMPLY A-MASON: Wm. Goelitz & Bro was headquartered at this storefront on Oak Park Avenue in Oak Park. Henry Goelitz later broke off and started his bricklaying business in Forest Park around 1900.

Paving the way for future generations Scion of local bricklayers now mentoring musicians BY JOHN RICE

Contributing Reporter

o say that Jim Goelitz has deep roots in Forest Park would be an understatement. His great-grandfather, Henry Goelitz, started the paving company that laid down brick streets in Forest Park, Oak Park, Berwyn and Cicero. As times changed, the company paved over most of the brick streets with asphalt. Goelitz continues to live and work in Forest Park. He has been teaching music lessons at Kagan & Gaines, 7655 West Roosevelt, since 1995. “Forest Park is the greatest music town,” Goelitz said, “It’s also a great business town.” His family’s business, however, wasn’t always located in Forest Park. First, it was at 105 South Oak Park Avenue and, at least initially, was a plumbing company. Then, Henry got into the paving business. A vintage photograph shows Wm. Goelitz & Bro, with the storefront advertising plumbing, gas fitting, sewerage, hot water and steam heating. The workers are wearing bowlers and straw hats and there is a horse-drawn wagon bearing the company’s name. Around 1900, Henry Goelitz broke away from the family business to start a paving company. He bought paving bricks from suppliers and used these incredibly durable bricks to pave local thoroughfares. He even constructed his home from paving bricks. His impressive mansion sits at Thomas Street & Oak Park Avenue in Oak Park. Goelitz even used trolley rails, instead of steel beams in the construction.

When paving bricks went out of style, Goelitz opened one of the first asphalt companies in Illinois. He started it in the 1920s, at 5757 Ogden Avenue in Berwyn. Both family businesses were prospering. The plumbing company occupied some valuable property. “My family owned the west side of Oak Park Avenue, from North Boulevard to the alley,” Goelitz recalled, “They lost it in the crash.” The paving business survived the stock market crash but its founder died of stomach cancer in 1931. Henry’s son, William, took over. He continued the asphalt business in Cicero and built his own home, next door to the house on Thomas. William later bid on urban development projects. He worked on Oak Park’s ill-fated shopping mall in 1973. Jim Goelitz was destined to work in the family business, so he attended cement finisher school, at Local 502, in Bellwood. He worked as a cement finisher for nine years, from 1979-1989. “It was a horrible job,” he confessed, “I’ve had two hand operations but I’m now on the mend.” His father, William, Jr., insisted on using union workers, even after unions fell out of favor in the 1980’s. “He could no longer compete with non-union companies,” Goelitz recalled, “The overhead made it not worth staying in business.” With the family business in decline, Goelitz began attending Elmhurst College. He ended up earning his Bachelor of Music Degree in Jazz Studies, at Roosevelt University in 1997. Goelitz had been fascinated with music, ever since he first picked up a guitar at age five. “I was self-taught, except for a few lessons,” Goelitz said. “My mother, Rosemary, played the guitar and sang. She had a great voice. She could sing opera.” She was mostly drawn to folk music, though, playing songs by Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. “I enjoyed sing-alongs with my mom. My dad also sang,”

a “landlord discussion” at his residence at 516 Desplaines Ave., just across the street from the Forest Park Police Department, 517 Desplaines Ave. McClintock, the suit claims, eventually showed up. He and Roney, who was at the top of the stairs of his residence, started talking. McClintock, the suit says, began “to yell and scream” at Roney before he “charged up the stairs and attacked Roney. Then, the suit contends, McClintock arrested Roney for aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and battery, as a “cover up.” The April 4 ruling found Roney not guilty. On June 16, Roney’s attorney, Greg Kulis of Kulis & Associates Ltd., said his client deserves restitution. “He’s entitled to be compensated for the wrongs committed to him by the officer,” Kulis said, referring to Roney. “He’s saying you shouldn’t have knocked my teeth out. He’s saying I shouldn’t have had to fight criminal charges for two years.” The suits states that Roney and McClintock “knew each other before” the 2015 arrest. Kulis declined to elaborate. “I don’t want to go into those facts,” Kulis said. “But McClintock knew who he was.” A 2011 Forest Park Review police blotter shows Forest Park police arrested a 55-year-old man named Tyrone Roney for hit-and-run. It is unclear if it is the same man. In an email to the Review, Police Chief Thomas Aftanas declined comment, citing the ongoing lawsuit.

Goelitz said. “We played Christmas songs together, or played guitar at family barbeques. I feel blessed.” His older siblings encouraged Goelitz on the guitar and influenced his musical tastes. They introduced him to the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and the Temptations. At the ripe age of 20, Goelitz moved from the family home into a tiny apartment above a laundromat in Oak Park. If nothing else, it was handy for getting his wash done. Goelitz and his wife later moved to Forest Park and spent ten years living on Rockford. They now live on Lathrop Avenue. “We can’t get away from Forest Park,” Goelitz said. “I want to live here forever,” Goelitz started teaching guitar and repairing instruments at Kagan & Gaines. He also worked as a studio guitarist and played wedding bands, bar bands and corporate bands Goelitz has performed in clubs, hotels and festivals throughout the East Coast and Midwest but his first love is teaching at Kagan & Gaines. “I teach guitar, bass, vocals and beginner piano,” Goelitz said. “I enjoy seeing their progress, although improvising can be painful.” Besides giving individual lessons, Goelitz believes “music is best learned and expressed in a group atmosphere.” “We were doing ‘school of rock’ at Kagan & Gaines, before anyone else was doing it,” Goelitz added. “It’s a stress-buster and lots of fun.” Goelitz teaches two ensembles, in addition to his 30 individual students. His adult ensemble group is called Blue Groove. “It’s an 11-piece band, with three horns, keyboard and a full rhythm section.” They are performing at Healy’s Westside, Circle & Madison, on June 23 at 8:00 p.m. They will later be performing Saturday, July 22, at noon, at the Forest Park Music Fest. To put Goelitz’ career into his own parlance, “I’m a music teacher who paves the way for students to learn the joy of music.”

D91 moves to broaden its planning process Two board members will now serve on goal-setting team BY THOMAS VOGEL Staff Reporter

The Forest Park District 91 Board of Education decided June 8 at its monthly meeting to tweak how the school system develops its strategic goals in order to involve more stakeholders. The board, after some discussion, agreed to Supt. Lou Cavallo’s proposed revision that, according to Cavallo, combines the best elements of two recent methods the district has used in its “strategic planning process.” The district’s 22-member Leadership Team, which includes administrators, teachers, parents, community members and two board members, will now develop goals, subject to board approval following discussion. “They’re the ones on the frontlines. They’re the ones that see what the kids do,” said board member Kim Rostello, referring to the Leadership Team. “They’re the ones who engage on a daily basis. We don’t. … I do really like the idea of having a broader group to set goals.” D91 used “Future Ready,” a technology and data-driven framework to help schools with planning during the 2016-2017 school year. There is a strategic-planning component to Future Ready, but Cavallo noted it does not provide enough “outcome” measurements. The framework, Cavallo said, gauged effort, not results. “Other states have used it widely, like California,” Cavallo said June 15 in a phone call, referring to Future Ready. “It all sounded very good but when we got into the actual process, there were two things that were problematic. All the planning is around doing things. ... There’s very little focus, little to none actually, on outcomes.” The district has made no financial commitment to Future Ready, Cavallo added. During Cavallo’s tenure, the board also used a more conventional “top-down” plan-

ning process. The community sets “core values,” and the board sets annual school goals in line with those values. Then district administrators develop “strategies” to accomplish those goals with staff working day-today on the ground to execute those strategies. D91’s website lists eight core values, including “being an inclusive school community” and “providing innovative instruction, programs and learning opportunities for each individual child.” The district’s most recent strategic plan, from 2017, lists goals such as “Forest Parkers will be aware and utilize community resources available through partnerships with all local agencies.” Strategies in the plan to accomplish this goal, for instance, include mailing a newsletter to residents and leveraging social media. There was pushback from some board members following Cavallo’s pitch. Christina Ricordati said she was concerned about moving away from Future Ready, particularly after the framework featured heavily in Cavallo’s recent State of the District address to parents. “I’m super-disappointed that the Future Ready thing is not kind of what we thought it was going to be,” Ricordati said. “... I think it’s a pretty big shift.” Board member Eric O’Connor said he wanted to ensure that the entire seven-member board was still involved in developing goals, not just the board’s two representatives on the Leadership Team, Kim Rostello and Shannon Wood. “It’s the board’s responsibility to set goals,” O’Connor said. “I don’t want to get the board removed from that actual process.” The strategic planning and goal setting process is already underway. The Leadership Team met June 14, and Cavallo called the meeting “outstanding.” He hopes to have a set of goals for the board to approve by its July meeting, but added more goals may be added after the school year starts in the fall.

Activists protest council’s minimum wage vote Workers at a July 15 demonstration blasted Ferrara’s lobbying of Calderone

WAGE MATTERS: Black Workers Matter along with other organizations around Forest Park and Oak Park joined forces to rally at Forest Park Village Hall.

By MICHAEL ROMAIN

Staff Reporter

round a dozen activists from Chicago’s West Side and Oak Park marched from the Forest Park Public Library north to Forest Park Village Hall on June 15 to protest the Village Council’s unanimous decision three days earlier to opt out of Cook County’s earned sick leave and minimum wage ordinances. The county’s minimum wage ordinance, which takes effect on July 1, would increase the minimum wage from the state’s current minimum of $8.25 an hour to $10 an hour, and by an additional $1 each subsequent year through 2020. Many suburbs in Cook County are leveraging a provision in the Illinois Constitution that says that if a county ordinance conflicts with a municipal ordinance, the municipal ordinance wins out. At least 40 other suburbs, including many neighboring towns like River Forest, Bellwood and Maywood, have opted out, according to an estimate provided by village officials. Forest Park Mayor Anthony Calderone and other council members said that they support a minimum wage but would prefer that the Illinois General Assembly pass legislation that would increase the state’s current minimum wage of $8.25 an hour. Currently, officials in numerous “opt-out” villages have argued that the county’s ordinance creates an uneven playing field for businesses and workers within and outside of the county. The activists who demonstrated last week, however, think that local municipalities should shoulder what they described as a moral burden of doing right by workers regardless of what the state does. They also argued that the advantages of establishing higher wages outweigh the disadvantages. “If you pay people a fair wage, people in your community are going to have more economic resources,” said Carol Frischman, an Oak Park resident who joined the June 15 demonstration, which was organized by members of two social justice organizations — Chicago-based Black Workers Matter and Oak Park Call to Action. There were few, if any, Forest Park residents among the demonstrators. “Which side of what’s right does a community want to be

on?” said Dominican Sister Patricia Farrell, OP, who also lives in Oak Park. The activists cited the results of a 2014 advisory question that asked voters whether they supported increasing the state’s minimum wage from $8.25 to $10 by Jan. 1, 2015. Nearly 64 percent of Illinois residents voted for the ballot measure, with nearly 85 percent of Proviso Township residents voting in favor of the measure. “Your constituents are the people, not the businesses,” said Lisa Pintado-Vertner, a member of Oak Park Call to Action. “They need to look at the facts and figure out who they represent.” The 2014 ballot measure only references a statewide minimum wage. It didn’t ask voters whether they supported a minimum wage increase in the form of the county’s current ordinance. Black Workers Matter activists said that not all employers located in the suburbs would feel squeezed by high wages. The activists took particular aim at Ferrra Candy, the Forest Park-based candy maker that lobbied elected officials in that village to opt out of the county ordinance. According to the political watchdog organization Illinois Sunshine, Ferrara has donated more than $3,000 since 2003 to Forest Park Mayor Anthony Calderon’s campaigns. The company has also donated to the campaigns of local politicians in Bellwood, where it has a manufacturing plant, and

to Illinois State Sen. Don Harmon (39th). The BWM activists, some of whom are former Ferrara temporary employees, said that 65 percent of the company’s work force is made up of temporary workers who make minimum wage. A wage increase from $8.25 to $10 could mean an extra $3,600 a year for Ferrra workers, said the activists, who also lambasted the company’s controversial work environment. In 2016, Ferrara settled a $1.5 million class action discrimination lawsuit by workers who live in Chicago’s Austin community over allegations that the company “exploited Latino immigrant workers” and shut out “U.S.-born blacks, whites, Puerto Ricans and MexicanAmericans,” BWM member Dan Giloth noted in a statement. Ferrara contracts with Elite Staffing and REM, two temporary agencies that have been charged with wage theft. In a letter addressed to Calderone, Rick Jochums, Ferrara’s vice president of manufacturing, said that his company depends “on employing a large number of entry-level labor positions in our facilities [that] are stable jobs that allow our employees to gain entry-level work experience and establish careers that usually feed into skilled labor roles both in and out of the Ferrara Candy system.” Jochums said that the county’s wage increase would cost the company’s Forest Park plant $1.5 million within a year and “north of $40 million” over 10 years — a 10 percent increase in business costs. Stewart — a co-founder of BWM and a former Ferrara temp worker who claims he was fired after he complained that the candy company and temp agencies were conspiring to illegally short his wages — challenged officials in the villages that have opted out of the county increase. “Why don’t y’all try living on $8.25 an hour,” Steward said during the June 15 demonstration. “Do it for just 30 days.” At Village Hall, the activists demanded to speak to Calderone, who village employees said was absent. The group talked with Village Administrator Tim Gillian, who accepted their Freedom of Information Act request for communications between the mayor and Ferrara company officials.

The man allegedly yelled “I’m going to blow the Walmart up!” and “bumped his chest into the manager’s chest” before leaving the store and attempting to drive away. Police stopped him soon after in the parking lot.

Possession with intent to deliver A 45-year-old Oswego woman was arrested, June 16 around 5:40 p.m., after police stopped the 1993 Toyota Camry she was riding in near Washington Street and Harlem Avenue. Police saw the Toyota’s driver, a 39-year-old Oswego man, using a cellphone and swerving. Police reported seeing “visible sores/marks … consistent with that of narcotics usage” on both riders. Officers also found a digital scale in the backseat. The pair gave conflicting stories to officers, who found over $1,000 cash and 6 grams of heroin in the car. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Forest Park Police Department, June 12-18, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

Screwloose with a screwdriver Forest Park police arrested a 19-year-old Chicago man on the CTA Blue Line platform, 711 Desplaines Avenue, for disorderly conduct, damage to government property and criminal trespassing after he allegedly threatened riders while holding a screwdriver. The man reportedly damaged a sign inside a train car and “appeared to be irrational as he was yelling and screaming” at bystanders. The man initially resisted orders from police but, after one officer drew his Taser, he was handcuffed. CTA video shows the man damaging the sign, according to the police report.

Forest Park and local Teamsters reach deal All village union workers now under contract

BY ROBERT J. LIFKA Contributing Reporter

The Forest Park Village Council voted unanimously at its June 12 meeting to approve a three-year contract with Teamsters Local Union 705, which represents 15 of the village’s public works employees. The previous contract expired April 30. All union workers in the village are now under contract. Village Administrator Tim Gillian said the contract is “right in line” with the village’s last several contracts with other unions. The new contract, Gillian added, contains no major changes in vacation, holidays, sick leave or overtime although there are a few minor language tweaks. “I am proud of the members at Forest Park Public Works for fighting for a fair and equitable contract,” Juan Campos, Local 705 secretary treasurer, said in a June 15 state-

ment to the Review. “We were able to improve wages, working conditions and secure health benefits.” Public works employees worked for two months without a contract. That’s a three-month decrease from the previous contract negotiations. Before reaching an agreement with the village in September 2014, public works employees worked for five months without a contract. Another group of village employees — police officers — worked two years without a contract before the village agreed to a threeyear contract with Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 24 in May. The union has already approved the new contract, which provides public works employees with a salary increase of 1.75 percent for the first year, retroactive to April 30, then increases of 1.5 percent for each of the following two years. Salary increases under the previous contract were 2.25 percent in

Proviso West gets ‘turnaround principal’ Former CPS principal has focused on educating young black men By MICHAEL ROMAIN Staff Reporter

The Proviso Township District 209 Board of Education approved the hiring of Nia Abdullah as principal at Proviso West High School at its June 13 regular meeting. Abdullah will replace the school’s outgoing principal, Oscar Hawthorne, beginning June 19. Her starting salary is $156,960. Abdullah is currently principal of Bowen High School, a four-year public school in the Chicago Public Schools system. Abdullah is a 1998 graduate of Howard, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, according to her LinkedIn profile. She also has a Doctor of Education degree in Urban Education Leadership from the University of Illinois Chicago’s College of Education. Abdullah has been teaching for 11 years. She started out as a math teacher at Hyde Park Academy in Chicago, where she worked from 2006 until 2010. During that period, she was promoted to mathematics department chair. In 2010, she was hired as a principal at John Hay

Community Academy, where she worked for a year before becoming principal of Bowen. According to a profile by UIC’s Center for Urban Education Leadership, Abdullah was featured in a 2014 symposium at the University of Chicago titled, “Black Young Men in America: Rising above Social and Racial Prejudice, Trauma, and Educational Disparities.” The UEL profile notes that Abdullah talked about the “challenges she faces at Bowen,” where she crafted “a warm and inviting environment for African American males geared to push for excellence both academically and behaviorally.” “We have to accept them as they are and be able to hold them accountable as well at the same time,” Abdullah said. “We need to know exactly what they need academically but support them regardless of how they come to us.” Abdullah was listed as a “turnaround principal” on a June 2017 personnel report. District 209 did not return a request for comment by press time.

each of the first two years and 2 percent in the third year. Under the new contract, the salary of heavy equipment operators will be $29.18 per hour until May 1, 2018, when it increases to $29.62 per hour. On May 1, 2019, it will increase to $30.06. The salary for a Class C water operator will be $33.73 per hour until May 1, 2018, when it will increase to $34.24. On May 1, 2019, it will rise to $34.75. Public works employees are covered by Teamsters health insurance and are not covered by the village’s policy. Under terms of the new contract, the village will pay $368 per week per employee to the Local Union 705 Health and Welfare Fund, effective May 1, 2017. That contribution will increase to $388 on May 1, 2018, and to $408 on May 1, 2019. The village had previously been paying $328 per week per employee. Paid holidays are New Year’s, Washington’s Birthday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Decoration Day, Christmas, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Independence Day. Each employee is eligible to take two paid personal days. The other four union contracts covering village employees expire April 30, 2018.

OPINION O U R

V I E W

Building Culture

n a nutshell, here’s the conundrum: “To get the money to build, you really need to have a plan. To get a plan, you need the study money.” That’s a quote from Ralph DiFebo, the inventor and champion of the grand concept of a “Culture Park” at the village-owned Altenheim property, and now, somewhat by default, its executive leader. DiFebo and his village government-appointed committee have reached a new point in their “if you build it” adventure. They are about to apply for a grant from Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP). DiFebo updated the village council on the group’s progress at its June 12 meeting and asked for the village’s help in finalizing the grant application and actually forwarding it to CMAP under its auspices. Mayor Anthony Calderone and Village Administrator Tim Gillian offered assurances the village would help and that a June 29 deadline would be met. That’s good. Going forward, we see a need for village government to become a more active and determined partner in this ambitious plan. As envisioned by DiFebo, the Culture Park would have several aspects. One is as a destination music venue. A mini-Ravinia is the shorthand reference. Also in the mindseye of the committee is a sculpture park, skating rink and then common areas which could be used for a farmers market and other local uses. To its great credit, a newly elected Mayor Calderone led the village’s bold plan to purchase these 11 acres of open space in 2001 for $3.6 million. It saved the space for future generations and spared us another gaggle of non-descript townhomes. The challenge over the 16 years since has been to find the right use. Like many in town, DiFebo’s park has captured our imagination. It has a notable purpose as a destination aimed at drawing people to town from across the entire city. That would be good for Forest Park, its business community, and its sense of identity. But the mingling of quiet local uses would also be a fine addition for a town with little passive park space. The road ahead is long and steep. All the players will need to pull hard in the same direction to make this real.

Juneteenth redux

Juneteenth. That’s something else we are fans of. Homegrown by its own champion, former village commissioner Rory Hoskins, Forest Park’s Juneteenth is a recognition and celebration of the anniversary of emancipation of black Americans from slavery. This was intended as a retrospective thanking of the organizers, but due to rain last Saturday night, it is also an invitation to Forest Parkers to turn out this Thursday at the park’s aquatic center for the rain date. It’s a great time with free food, free pool admission and a heck of a batch of giveaways. Juneteenth is also a worthy public celebration of Forest Park’s great diversity. Thanks to Rory, to his dedicated committee, to the generosity of the park district and to many local businesses, including this one, who support this effort.

On being comfortable with discomfort

his Father’s Day, my husband and I brought each of our parents “23 and Me” DNA tests to learn more about our family’s heritage. Inspired by a friend’s results, which connected her family history back to the ancient Silk Road trade route, we felt this was a gift that would spark great thought and perspective in the family. It is hard to imagine my dad having exotic origins. I think he was cut out of stone. He is immovable, a solid man of principle and loyalty. There wasn’t a tollbooth operator in Illinois who didn’t hear his displeasure over paying 40 cents at a tollbooth in the 1980s. He refused to put a Nabisco product in his mouth after the company moved out of the Southwest Side of Chicago. If he lived in Forest Park, he would not care about a “Welcoming Resolution” and would wonder why anyone would take issue with video gaming. He would be disgusted that Forest Park limits residents’ ability to build whatever they choose on their property — whether it’s new fencing, a concrete parking pad, a third-story addition, or adding a second level to a garage. His point of view is very black and white. He has never lived in Forest Park, but he would find his tribe here. Labor was divided in our family by gender: I made the beds, did the dishes, set the table. My brothers mowed the lawn (with pay) and had access to the table saw, the lathe, and the drill press. When Anthony Clark, a citizen advocate, asked me once about discrimination as a woman, I couldn’t

answer, not because I didn’t understand what he was asking — I didn’t understand why the question was so simple. He didn’t know that my own father, the artist, texts his cartoonish Hillary Clinton illustrations with references to Benghazi and her private emails for his own entertainment. It is part of the way he shows me he loves me. Listening to right-wingers, left-wingers, opinions of people who identify as “disenfranchised,” opinions of those with power and just feeling uncomfortable with other perspectives is part of my normal life experience. I wouldn’t have this comfort with discomfort without my interactions, as a woman, with my unambiguous father. No matter what my father’s DNA reveals about his biological heritage, his social heritage was formed by his Uncle Gus, who never took a sick day in his over 40 years working in the steel mills, his aunt who was a cloistered nun, and his grandfather who once owned the land now known as River Oaks Mall and who bootlegged during Prohibition. We all are shaped by both our biology and our experiences. One is not more significant than the other, but together they combine to tell a unique story. How we identify with our heritage and contextualize ourselves within our community or family and choose to express them in the present is our significance. Forest Park is a town filled with outsiders. How we choose to share our community together at this moment in time is entirely up to us, each of us bringing our unique backgrounds and experiences.

Rosemary Schwartz, 73 Former Forest Park D91 school nurse Rosemary Schwartz (nee Johnston), 73, a longtime Forest Park resident, died on May 15, 2017 in Mesa, Arizona. Born on Feb. 7, 1944 in Scotland, this wee lassie earned her degree in nursing, practiced in London, and later headed to the states, arriving through New York Harbor in late 1966. She worked at La Grange Hospital and met a handsome young golf instructor, Bob Schwartz, fell in love and got married. She soon transferred to Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park where she spent over 25 years. The couple raised their three children in Forest Park and opened their home to all of their friends and family. Many also knew her as the Forest Park district school nurse during those years. She loved Forest Park and the sense of family that this small town embraced. She was

a spitfire and would keep you in line, but she was a loving, caring and giving person, with a really cute accent. She always sacrificed her needs for the good of her family and others. In her younger days, she loved to ski and was a fixture at St. Bernardine’s Monday Night Bingo (followed by a good laugh over coffee with friends at Venture Restaurant, later Ambrosia). She continued to enjoy trips to the casino, and the annual Vegas trip was a highlight. One of her truest passions was her affiliation with Mishka Productions and the Celebrate Your Life conferences. The CYL family meant so much to her and Continued on page 13

Rosemary was the wife of Robert “Bob” Schwartz; mother of Christina “Tina” Schwartz and Joshua Morin, Heather (Phil) Kantzler and Robert “Bobby” Schwartz Jr.; Nana to Logan, Lucas and Liam Kantzler; mama to fur-daughter Cici; grandma to grand-dog Bella; sister of Margaret (George) Eaton, Betty (John) McGuckin, Kathleen Carty and Jim Johnston; an honorary-sister to Iris Rizzo, Ruth Millar and Ann Murray; and aunt of many nieces, nephews and family associates. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Rose Johnston; and her brother, John A. “Jackie” Johnston. A memorial service will be held on Friday, June 23 from 3 to 8 p.m. with a prayer service at 7:30 p.m. at Forest Park’s ZimmermanHarnett Funeral Home, 7319 Madison St. In her final act of service and kindness, Rosemary donated her organs for scientific research in developing treatments and cures for lung disease. In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates donations be made to the American Lung Association in her honor. Additional information is available at 708366-2200.
